I’ve asked an AT&T spokesperson for information. I’ll update this post when I hear back.

Update: The AT&T spokesperson essentially provided the same response as was given in the U-verse tweet. FierceCable reports that “an issue with a server that supports U-verse” is causing the problem.

Meanwhile, I came home this evening to find that my U-verse service is out as well. A reset of the modem and the set-top box was a fruitless effort. Add central Houston to the list of places where U-verse is kaput.

Update 1.23.2013: U-verse’s outage continues, with the only new information offered by AT&T being that a server is to blame. The U-verse Twitter accounts suggests resetting the U-verse gateway may get some subscribers up and running again, but provides no details as to how that should be done.

We’ve identified an issue with a U-verse server. Customers may be able to restore service by restarting their system. More to come ASAP.
